good morning, america. white house fumble. president obama declaring it's on me. his apologetic u-turn on health care, saying millions should not have their insurance canceled. the fix he is offering. and why one state is saying it won't work. vanished. the mayday mystery at 2,000 feet. >> you said you had a passenger that fell out of your plane? >> that's correct, sir. he opened the back door. >> police and the coast guard in a frantic search for a man apparently jumping into the ocean off miami. no sign of him at this hour. caught on tape. are these the landlords from hell. the couple who robbed their own tenants, cut phone lines and beams. and drenched the building with chemicals. why they sabotaged their own million-dollar property. and keep on trucking, baby,

watch as the muscles from brussels is perfectly poised between two big rigs in a stunt that has the whole world watching. don't split before you see what happens. ♪ and good morning, america. so much to get to on this friday morning. check out these live pictures from tampa. that massive sinkhole continues to spread. 50 feet deep now. you see two houses right on the edge there. they're in so much trouble. in fact what they're going to do today, is push those houses in the hole and cover them with sand. one resident interest there is saying it looks like a meteor. it sure does right there. >> it's so much bigger today than it was at this time yesterday. and we have a heartwarming story for you on this tgif. the entire city of san francisco coming together to fulfill one little boy's wish to turn into yes, batman.

>> it takes thousands. a fantastic story. they're all helping miles, 5 years old, become a superhero today. >> i love how the whole city is coming together for that. we'll share that later. first, the president's apology on health care. saying he shoulders the responsibility for its failures. abc's jonathan karl live in washington this morning with the very latest on all of this. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, robin. >> it was president obama like we have never seen him before. bluntly acknowledging the failures of his health care rollout. and admitting he didn't quite know what caused it to go so wrong. a deflated president obama is taking blame for the botched rollout of his health care law, declaring repeatedly, it's on me. >> i do make apologies for not having executed better. that's on me. that's something i deeply regret. we did fumble the ball on it. i feel deeply responsible. >> reporter: he conceded that he has not kept his promise, that anybody who wanted to keep their health insurance, would be able to. >> i completely get how upsetting this can be for a lot

of americans. particularly after assurances they heard from me that, if they had a plan they liked, they could keep it. >> reporter: he vowed to change the rules to fix that. those americans who have had their insurances policies canceled, he said he will allow insurance companies to offer the old policies to them for one more year. it's not clear the fix will work, though. it is up to state insurance commissioners to implement the change. and already one state, washington, has declared the president's fix is unworkable. the president's most heartfelt mea culpa, went to fellow democrats, who have been burned politically, by the problems plaguing the affordable care act. >> i feel deeply responsible for making it harder for them, rather than easier for them. >> reporter: we now know that even before the website launched, it had failed internal tests, showing it was just not ready. but the president said nobody told him that. >> had i been informed, i

wouldn't be going out saying, boy, this is going to be great. >> reporter: there's more at stake here for the president than just health care. he acknowledged that he had to win back his credibility. but the first and most important step in doing that, is convincing the american people, including some of his closest political allies, that he can now get the health care law right. george? >> that's the big question. jon karl, thanks very much. let's take it to our political analyst, matthew dowd. boy, the white house knew the president had to go out there and take his licks yesterday. we never saw him do it the way he did it. but did he do enough to begin the recovery? >> no. i think he's going to accomplish the opposite of what he wanted to do. i think what he's going to have done, he's going to burden his friends and bolster his opponents in the course of this. i think he's provided an opportunity and a window to give his opponents much more room to maneuver in this. and it gives his people that support him, very hard difficulty defending him. 6 i think he's done the exact opposite than what he wanted to do. >> modern presidents have had so much trouble in their second

terms. you served with president george w. bush. of course everyone remembers what happened with katrina. once those questions about his competence took hold, his second term never really recovered. is president obama in that kind of a position right now? >> i think what we could look at in two years or three years from now, i think this is probably a tipping point in the credibility of his presidency. the same exact think as you say, happened to george w. bush. it was a series of things. and katrina, which is different than obama care. but at that point in time, the presidency and the relevancy of his presidency was over. i think that's what we're seeing right now for president obama. no other president, no presidents recover when they get this low, ever recover in the course of their presidencies. and if history's any guide, he's going to have a very difficult time recovering. >> the argument is, if the website is fixed by the end of the month, if people start to sign up and health care works, his signature achievement pays off. >> well, that's a big -- as you know, that's a huge "if." and i think most people expect it's not going to be fixed by

the end of this month. and i think it's all an implementation. this is not a communications problem. this is a governing problem. and that puts a huge weight on him. every time there's a problem, he's going to get blamed. and he can't communicate his way out of it. >> all about the execution. matthew dowd, thanks very much. much more of the fallout sunday on "this week." let's get the other top stories from josh. >> we're going to begin with breaking news from the gulf coast. an explosion at the chevron oil refinery in mississippi just outside of biloxi. a fire interrupted overnight. flames visible for miles. one person has been confirmed as having been killed in the explosion. this is the second disaster for chevron in just the last 24 hours. you see the fire here. the entire town of milford, texas, had to be evacuated because of this explosion and resulting inferno thursday. workers at a drilling site struck a pipeline there by accident. we move, now, to florida. we saw the scene here at the top of the show. a massive sinkhole growing, as homes collapse into it. it's all near tampa. and it is forcing many evacuations.

abc's steve osunsami is there right now with some very, very nervous local residents. steve? >> reporter: good morning, josh. authorities here aren't wasting any time. they've already got dump trucks on the way. one of them here. and they're tearing down the fence in front of these two homes, in front of the hole, preparing to push these homes into the hole and cover it with sand. this whole affair has frightened residents in this neighborhood. it's a big one. 70 feet wide, 50 feet deep. swallowed a swimming pool. nearly swallowed a boat. seven families rushed from their homes in florida. >> it looks like a meteor hit it. or the earth just opened up. >> reporter: michael dupree said his family was asleep and called the police when they heard the sound of the sinkhole swallowing their home. >> how far is it sinking? >> it's just cracking. the whole house and the floors are cracking. >> reporter: they ran for their lives. he left his wedding ring behind. firefighters went back inside to find it.

>> they broke in the window in the back, before it came down. grabbed it and got it for me. >> reporter: this morning, authorities believe it has stopped growing. they knew the sinkhole was here two years ago. the family had been fighting with their insurance company on how to fix it. and contractors had just started the work this week. >> it was really loud. we thought maybe it was someone trying to break in. >> reporter: in march, a seffner, florida, homeowner was killed in his bed, buried alive. in august, vacationers outside orlando were scared silly when their villa started falling into the ground. this year alone, florida residents have reported more than 255 sinkholes. josh? >> remarkable stuff. steve, thank you for that. also in florida, in fact, a dramatic rescue. a woman drove into a pond and quickly began sinking. and she could not escape her car. but a group of strangers nearby. they didn't think twice. they backed their truck up, reached in and pulled her out,

you see here, just as her car filled with water. overseas, meanwhile, the death toll in the philippines disaster zone skyrockets overnight. it now tops 3,600 people. nearly 1 million have lost their homes. while more u.s. military helicopters are arriving, finally getting some food and water to the hardest-hit areas. but it comes one week after the monster typhoon hit. and finally the big highlight from the guinness world records day. don't knock it until you say it. the guy you see here set a record for the number of bottles walked on. he made it across 60 champagne bottles without flinching, for some reason. >> well, congratulations. >> the better world record here, was this. take a look. longest-ever basketball shot. a harlem globetrotter rookie named corey law, from 109'9." it's impressive. had anybody been watching in 1985 from westchester park, i hit it from at least 300 feet.

>> at least. any video? >> i just don't have the proof. >> going down. >> i promise. >> it was a simpler time, 1985. >> thank you, there, josh. we appreciate it. now, to the embattled mayor of toronto, rob ford. the city council moving fast to make him mayor in name only, after a series of outbursts and bizarre comments. abc's linsey davis has the story. >> reporter: after showing up to work wearing a football jersey, toronto's mayor proceeded to put his foot squarely in his mouth again. this time, denying he propositioned a former employee with a sexual act. >> i never said that in my life to her. i would never do that. i'm happily married. >> reporter: rob ford's denial that he had made lewd comments was itself so lewd, we were unable to air it in its entirety but there he was back before the press, this time with his wife by his side, apologizing again. >> the revelations yesterday of

cocaine, escorts, prostitution, has pushed me over the line. and i used unforgivable language. and again, i apologize. >> reporter: in recent days, he has said he was sorry -- >> i apologize. >> reporter: again -- >> i sincerely, sincerely apologize. >> reporter: and again. >> i apologize. >> reporter: the fall on the sword moments from earlier this month, followed an admission that he had smoked crack after months of denials. but then, after coming completely clean in one final mea culpa last week -- >> i have nothing left to hide. >> reporter: late-night comedians are having a field day. >> rob ford, he's providing me with so much entertainment this week. i feel like i should pay him a subscription fee like hbo. >> reporter: according to police documents, stunning allegations surfaced this week, including

accuseizations that he made racist comments, crude sexual remarks and consorted with a prostitute in his city hall office. >> that's disturbing against my wife. >> reporter: but despite the urging of toronto city council members for ford to step down, the mayor of canada's biggest city has refused to leave office. this morning, the toronto city council says they have had enough. they are expected to vote to slash his budget and strip ford of many of his mayoral powers. but affording to ctv, as of monday, rob and his brother, doug, are expected to get their own tv show on sun news network. they previously had a radio show but that was canceled last week. stay tuned, canada. there's more ford to come. >> somehow we saw that coming. thank you, linsey. we're going to turn to a criminal investigation targeting a rising star in college football. florida state's quarterback, jameis winston is in the running for the heisman trophy. and his lawyers now wonder if publicizing the investigation is a dirty trick designed to hurt his chances.

gio benitez is on the case. >> reporter: on the field, fsu quarterback jameis winston seems untouchable. but off the field, winston's attorney said the freshman prodigy has been sacked by accusations of sexual battery. an assault that allegedly happened in an off-campus apartment last december. police now releasing this heavily redacted report, saying evidence was collected. that the so-called victim had been drinking. and the assailant's alleged motive, sexual gratification. his lawyer said police have never contacted winston about that attack and that police told him the investigation was closed back in february. but police just gave the report to prosecutors this week. though it does not name winston, his attorney says his client is the suspect. the report describes the alleged attacker as being between 5'9" and 5'11." a far cry from the star athlete's 6'4" frame. >> do i believe that a normal person would confuse or mistake him as a 5'9", 5'11" person?

no. he's a tall individual. >> reporter: this morning, his attorney asking, why now? >> right before the heisman voting ballots are going out. right before a potential national championship game is earned, i think that cannot be ignored. >> reporter: 19-year-old winston is on the verge of leading his team to the ultimate victory. >> our main goal is to win a national championship. >> reporter: he's had a meteoric rise to fame. becoming the starting quarterback as a freshman. >> this will be a learning experience for him. hopefully we'll get this resolved favorably and he can move on. >> reporter: abc news reached out to police. they say this is an ongoing investigation. but won't tell us more than that. fsu says winston will stay on the team, unless he's charged with a crime. such a bizarre case. isn't it? >> a lot of strange ones about this one. >> especially the timing of it. >> timing is really tough to understand. >> thanks, gio. appreciate it. now, to frightening moments onboard a southwest plane. passengers very fearful when the pilot announced the plane was going down.

abc's david kerley has that story for us. >> reporter: this morning, the faa wants to know why a southwest jetliner took a nose dive after what passengers say they heard from the pilot. >> he says, we're going down. and everybody's looking around like, is this a joke? is he serious? and then, it starts to nosedive. >> reporter: the jet was losing altitude fast. >> we were clinching hands and we said, "i love you, and kissed. i shut my eyes just waiting for it all to be over. >> reporter: southwest airlines says the pilot from the 737 from tampa to raleigh, did declare an emergency. >> still working it out. we just want to get it -- >> reporter: it was a cockpit alarm, showing a problem with the plane's pressurization. the pilot dove from 41,000 to 25,000, then down to 10,000 feet in just 11 minutes. that is standard procedure. but passengers thought it was the end and made desperate attempts to send final messages to loved ones.

>> it says, i love you, alyssa. my plane is going down. >> reporter: southwest says the pilot only communicated that he was initiating a decent to lower altitudes. that's not what passengers say they heard. >> you could tell he was struggling. >> i couldn't tell whether he was putting an oxygen mask on or something. and the last thing he said, we're going down. one of the things you don't ever want to hear on an airplane. >> reporter: even though the jet landed safely and is back in service, southwest did offer each of the passengers a $200 voucher for the wild ride into raleigh. for "good morning america," david kerley, abc news, washington. >> and just so thankful nobody was hurt. >> thank goodness for that. >> lara, okay, this is the story of the morning. >> so excited to share this with you and with you. it's a heartwarming story. we mentioned earlier -- you hear the music. it's the "batman" theme. today is the day thousands are coming together in san francisco, all to fulfill one little boy's wish to become a superhero.

look out, san francisco. it's batman to the rescue. but it's not bruce wayne behind that mask. >> i'm batman. >> reporter: it's 5-year-old miles scott. this morning, the city by the bay is transforming into the dark knight's playground, gotham city. the reason, this young caped crusader has been battling leukemia for three years. and he has one big dream. >> to be batman. he's my favorite superhero. >> reporter: and thanks to his friends at make-a-wish, that dream is coming true. >> we started watching the old adam west "batmans." he likes being the character. he likes putting on the costume and donning the mask. >> reporter: today, miles will be known simply as batkid. chasing criminals in a bat mobile. rescuing a damsel in distress on a cable car. assisting in catching the riddler as he raids a downtown

vault and getting to be on a special edition of the "san francisco chronicle." >> he thinks he gets to be batkid for the day. i don't think he has any idea how big this thing got. >> reporter: thousands of volunteers have signed up to cheer on batkid, while he captures some notorious villains and saves the city. this morning's adventure will be a watershed moment for the scotts, as miles finished his treatment in june. >> it's a big party at the end of a long road. >> reporter: he's now in remission and ready to take on the world. ♪ batman >> reporter: taking on all of san francisco. and he doesn't know. his parents don't even know, how big this is going to be. it's all been kept a secret. we cannot wait to see it unfold. >> if i were there, i would be his batgirl, robin. >> oh, you'd be robin! >> and good for you, san francisco. >> that is -- to come together like that for that kid. that's terrific. and good for you, ginger zee. bringing warm weather to the east. >> i am. you won't get a weekend off. that will be great. or, you can join me this weekend. i'm on "gma" this weekend, too.

all of the drama. >> reporter: handing down her sentence, the judge told genevieve sabourin that her behavior harassed and terrorized alec baldwin's wife. baldwin was dealing with a brand-new conflict as he moved from jail. >> get away from my wife and the baby with a camera. >> reporter: as he was being vindicated in court thursday, alec baldwin was engaged in another confrontation with paparaz paparazzi. >> come on. >> reporter: this time, he unleashed a profanity-laced tirade, after photographers got too close to his family. you can hear his wife, hilaria, telling him to get back in the car. the baldwins were not in court when genevieve sabourin was found guilty of stacking and harassing them. sabourin seen crying in court after the verdict hers. in a statement, hilaria baldwin saying, quote, now that it's finally over, we feel safe,

relieved and happy to move forward. sabourin is serving a 180-day jail sen sentencesentence. but could jail time end what prosecutors called her obsession with the 55-year-old actor? showing up at his homes. sending a barrage of e-mails and texts. convinced they were in a relationship. in 2012, halle berry's stalker was sentenced to more than a year in prison, and five years probation. but punishments like these hardly seem to deter other celebrity stalkers. >> stalkers realize they're breaking the law. but they don't really care because they have a goal. and they are going to achieve it. >> reporter: sabourin's lawyer insists she is now ready to move on. >> she realizes that this is over. she'll move on. >> reporter: that is, once she gets out of jail. and the judge also issued a order of protection, requiring sabourin to stay away from the baldwins for five years.

but experts say these kinds of orders and even jail time, very often, have no effect on stalkers, george. >> thanks very much. we're joined by abc's chief legal affairs anchor, dan abrams. and the judge showed no mercy. >> 210-day sentence, which is the maximum. it's interesting. you and i talked about whether she was held in contempt of court was going to hurt her. she was yelling and screaming during the trial, et cetera. it seems clear to me that it did in the sentencing. that's where the judge has a lot of discretion. and the judge said, in the sentencing, her conduct throughout this trial demonstrated an utter lack of respect of the law and the legal system. so, the judge clearly keeping in mind not just the testimony he heard. not just the evidence. but also, her conduct during the trial itself. >> and this, despite the fact that he may have even believed her account of the relationship. >> this case, her defense, really came down to, this was a romantic relationship we had. and i was just trying to get

closure. but the judge here said, there may have been this relationship. but the judge said that, even if there was, that may make the case against her even stronger. suggesting that that could explain why she was harassing and stalking him. in te in the end, what was her conduct, not what led up to it? >> if she bothers alec baldwin or his family, big, big trouble. >> they send her right back. she has to make sure she gets with some people that are going to support her and prevent her from doing anything stupid when she is released. now, to a mysterious incident in the air. a passenger reportedly plunging out of a small plane just off florida, falling and disappearing into the water below. so far the authorities say there's no sign of him. abc's matt gutman has more on this bizarre story. >> reporter: this morning, investigators are still mystified by how a passenger could have fallen out of a small

plane off the coast of miami. and vanished. >> mayday. mayday. >> reporter: this is the distress call the pilot made, after the passenger apparently plummeted 2,000 feet into the atlantic. >> i have a door ajar. and a passenger that fell down. i am -- six miles from miami. >> reporter: the emergency responder seems taken aback by the pilot's call. >> you say you had a passenger that fell out of your plane? >> that's correct, sir. he opened the book door. and he just fell down the plane. >> reporter: that emergency call triggering a huge multiagency search. >> the coast guard was notified by the faa that a pilot of a small plane reported a person falling out of a plane. we're working with miami-dade response units and conducting a search of the area. >> reporter: after the plane landed at miami airport, you can see the police, here in this video, circling the plane, searching for clues. neither the pilot's name or the

fallen passenger's name has been released. authorities are trying to determine how a person could just fall out of a plane. but they admit they're not certain if the passenger fell or jumped. >> there's no way that a door like this is supposed to come open. if you do manage to open it, whether you intend to or not, it's going to fall out and take you with it. >> that's so incredibly odd. a lot of question marks. ginger zee in for sam. >> no question marks here. i can tell you exactly what's happening. we've been cold. we've been talking about that a lot. and also dry and windy. that's when you get problems in the way of fire. this is just outside new york city. rockland county. right. wildfires, brush fires. hundreds of acres. no one hurt and everyone safe as far as homes go. they're putting out most of it or have. but they're keeping an eye on it. we have moderate drought from boston down to new york city. we haven't had a whole lot of rain. we'll look as we go into the winter to see how that's going.

prepare your children to handle adversary. >> reporter: in a blog post titled "why my kids are not the center of my world." 29-year-old stephanie metz writes, the mentality of our society in 2013 is nauseating to me. >> i feel like the job of a parent is not always to make their life easy. and make their child happy. >> reporter: stephanie's self-admitted rant, which was meant for her following of 8 close friends, now has more than 800,000 views. and it's striking a nerve among parents online. stephanie writes, there was a time when kids got called names. and they brushed it off. she says, if a kid gets bullied nowadays, their whole world crumbles. they contemplate suicide. and society encourages a worldwide pity party. >> when you get into the real world and your boss is a jerk, how are you going to deal with that? >> reporter: this has some parents outraged. calling her an example of everything wrong with parents today. another person writing, you should feel ashamed.

>> i do know that bullying is a very real issue. but i do think we need to teach our kids to learn how to be a little stronger, i guess, emotionally. >> reporter: parenting expert, dr. karyn gorden, agrees to an extent. >> there's a difference between bullying and teasing. when it's teasing, i want parents to teach their children how they themselves can fix the problem. this is going to build resilience, confidence and communication skills. >> reporter: stephanie says she never intended to change the mindset of modern parents. but does hope they'll focus more on preparing their kids and not pampering them. for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. >> you can imagine, a lot of reaction coming into this. here was jason mccann on twitter. does he agree with stephanie? i do not agree. i was bullied. when i tried to toughen up, it made my life worse. she doesn't know how mean kids can get. but j. emmett cole says everybody should have a degree of toughness. the world can be a tough place and sheltering helping nobody.

tammy gold, our expert, where do you come down? >> i think we need to teach children resilience. we don't need to be tougher on them or have them experience toughness. we need to teach them how to handle adversity. how to handle uncomfortable feelings and give them tools to punch through the other side. >> how would you suggest doing that? >> so, a couple things. you need to teach them how to build frustration tolerance. how to identify, i'm feeling angry. i'm feeling upset and what does that feel like? and sit with that feeling. number two, teach them how to express themselves, using "eyi" statements. i feel uncomfortable. i don't like the way you're talking to me. and three, teach them empathy, so they understand that it's not just about them. so they understand that somebody else could have a view and a problem in the situation. >> the mom seemed to have a clear take on the frustration tolerance issue. she says, leave them alone. let them go work out problems for themselves. >> and i disagree with that. it's a parents' job to teach them how to get through troubles that are plaguing any child. and if you say, this is a tough time, especially with a bullying situation, or adolescent girls.

i'm going to step back and let you handle it, they can suffer real emotional trauma. it's a parent's job to get involved and teach them how to talk through the problem and solve it for themselves. >> i completely agree. and not go the other way, and try to be their best friend all the time. i'm hopefully raising sarina to be my friend when she's an adult. and until then, i'll -- >> you need to partner with them. this is not the time you step back and let them take any kind of abuse. you partner with them and teach them side by side so they can become stronger within. >> great advice. thank you so much. >> really is good advice. we said this before. everyone just does the best that they can. and there's no set formula. and parents just do what they think is best. thank you for that advice, though. very, very helpful. most couples try to keep their disagreements private. but not the couple you are about to meet. they tweet about them. all of them. no matter how big, small.

and another, alan suggested that his gal-pal replace me at an event i couldn't make. one follower asking, has alan recovered from his temporary bout of insanity? >> it's a wonderful way to resolve problems by writing down what you feel. if they read too much into what their followers have to say, it might cause additional problems. >> reporter: do you post mid-fight? or do you post after you have hashed it out and worked it out? >> always after we're cooled down. and that can be 20 minutes. that can be three days. >> reporter: and they have amassed quite a following. over 14,000 people follow the couple's tweeted tiffs, covering everything from, claire left me in a restaurant. i thought alan was buying bread for another woman. how does this help your relationship? >> after every fight, we come together as a team. which is great because it feels like you're against each other in a fight. and we have to come together. and we do something. >> reporter: you sound like an old married couple. >> old married couple.
